Which Method Should You Choose?

Two Ways to Get a Birth Certificate in Alaska

The Old-Fashioned Way:

Interested in obtaining an Alaska birth certificate? You have several available options. The traditional way involves mailing in an application, which you can find on the website of the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services Division of Public Health.

To order a certificate, you must be the person named on the record, or a parent. Otherwise, you must be a legal representative/guardian who can provide evidence of your legally recognized relationship with the person named on the document.

Your application must include a copy of your government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver's license, state ID card, passport, U.S. military ID card).

The fees for birth certificates in Alaska run as follows: $30 for the first record, and $25 each for additional copies ordered at the same time. You can send a check or money order payable to Bureau of Vital Statistics, or you can pay by credit card.

Mail to this address:

Bureau of Vital StatisticsP.O. Box 110675Juneau, AK 99811-0675

Processing usually takes 2-3 weeks after the application has been received at the office.
